  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Raven 26mm V26 Fanchurian
  • Razor: Iberia 14 7/8 Full Hollow Square Point
  • Lather: CBL Soap - Doc Holiday - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
  • Aftershave: CBL Soap - Doc Holiday - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This was one of those shaves that makes you take notice. Doc Holiday is a wonderful soap and splash. I haven't used it since last fall, and I look forward to many uses during the upcoming warm months.

This was a test of a Nakayama Maruka Shohounyama edge on this Iberia 14. I wanted to see if I could discern a difference between this edge and the previous Silkstone edge. I could immediately tell the difference. The Jnat edge suits this incredible razor perfectly and allows it to really shine.
